Old age

When you are young, you never think of getting old.
When you do, it is too late.

Then reality sets in.
The age of unreal expectations begins.
The root of most of the miseries of the old parents.

Sure, your performance as parents was great, excellent.

Then stop.........Think.

Rate your performance towards your old parents as their adult and matured child raising your own young family.

Most of your miseries perhaps will go away.

The gist of the matter is to continue being a loving parent.
Be a great guide when asked.
Interfere in the family matters only when absolutely necessary.
Leave the rest in the hands of almighty.
